After 11 seasons as a starting offensive tackle for the Patriots, Matt Light sounds like he knows whether he wants to keep going or call it a career. But he doesn’t sound like he wants to let anyone else in on his decision.

Mike Rodak of ESPNBoston.com reports that Light talked to reporters about a charity event he’s participating in on Wednesday, but clammed up when asked if he has a timetable for determining his future.

Solder, Vollmer, and Cannon are all capable of becoming starters but with Light potentially leaving or staying they are still going to need more depth anyways, especially if injuries set in. I wouldn’t be surprised if they pick another in the draft with one of their first four picks.

Take an O lineman with one of the first 4 picks (per axltcu above.) It’s time to let Mr. Turkey Shoot wander out to pasture… and if they have injuries and need him to step in during the season, I’m sure he has a Seau / Brown / Branch bat-phone installed at the ranch for the call from BB.
